Cadiz, KY (UP)  Its name is
almost as long as the road, old-timers in this home state of
Casey Jones say, but the Cadiz railroad continues to make its own
way and profitably serve the shippers who send freight rolling
over its 10 mile of line.

Long after the nations larger railroading concerns had
acquired the myriad short roads with such names as Paragould
Southeastern, Jonesboro, Leachville and Arkansas Southern, the Cadiz
railroad continues to operate independently.

For the 37th consecutive year the corporation finished
in the black.

Its a wonder that museums havent made offers for the
two engines that roll over the rails each day for even the
engineers and fireman of the little iron horses admit
that they are something to smile at when compared with the modern
streamliner.

W.D. Mitchell. Who was employed in 1902 to run one of the engines
says theres never been a wreck on the Cadiz line and the
roads really too short to let the engine out and see what
it will do.

Mitchell, incidentally, now is building a home from parts of old
coaches.

General Manager, W.C. White says the Cadiz line, which connects
the Trigg county seat with the village of Gracy is not the
shortest in the country. Theres a line near Tulsa, Okla.,
only seven miles long.

White is the grandson and the namesake of the founder of the
Cadiz line and he says that fundamentally, operating a railroad
like this one differs only slightly with running New York Central
and Southern Pacific, with the exception that the general
manager here has a few more odd jobs to perform.

But the Cadiz line differs from many other railroads in the
American Shortline Association in that it was built entirely by
local capital and always has been locally owned.

The last spike was driven in 1902 and then Mitchell and Thomas S.
Shaw went to work as engineers. Shaw died several years ago. His
daughter, Bid and White constitute the office space.

Timber always has been the chief freight item leaving Cadiz on
the pioneer line.

Lawless Cancer Growth Doubted by
Pathologist

Philadelphia - - (UP)  A new method for
studying living cancer cells was described to the college
physicians by Dr. Baldwin Luke. University of Pennsylvania
pathology professor.

Dr. Luke said he took a bit of tissue from the kidney of a frog
which had cancer inserted the tissue into the eye and looked
through the transparent cornea with a microscope.

The common belief that cancer is lawless growth was not
borne out by my observations. he said. Cancer tissue
has definite patterns of growth, which are determined by physical
environments.

Dr. Luke also explained how he photographed bits of tissue at
intervals with motion picture camera and later projected then on
a screen with the film running at regular speed. The motion of
the cells he said, ordinarily too slow to be observed was
visible.
